Winning Strategies of Corporate Stars Headhunters Neff and Citrin found America's top business leaders share these six principles: 1. LIVE WITH INTEGRITY, LEAD BY EXAMPLE ''Integrity builds the trust in senior management that is...critical for high-performing organizations.'' 2. DEVELOP A WINNING STRATEGY OR 'BIG IDEA' ''A successful leader must go to the company's roots and build on the things the organization truly does best.'' 3. BUILD A GREAT MANAGEMENT TEAM Great leaders hired managers ''whose skills and experiences complemented their own, but whose passion, attitudes, and values were one and the same.'' 4. INSPIRE EMPLOYEES TO GREATNESS ''Communicate continuously, listen carefully, genuinely tolerate failure as a learning experience.'' 5. CREATE A FLEXIBLE, RESPONSIVE ORGANIZATION ''The best leaders have redesigned their organizations to make sure decisions can be made fast.'' 6. USE REINFORCING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ''Compensation...must be consistent with and reinforce the values and strategy of the organization.''
